The city of Gary’s Law Department and Redevelopment Division are currently without leadership after the officials who headed the departments were fired by Mayor Jerome Prince.
Whether the mayor plans to fill the vacancies is unclear. Prince, who was defeated in the Democratic mayoral primary held in May by State Sen. Eddie Melton, D-Gary, has under three months remaining in his role. Melton is heavily favored to win the Nov. 7 general election and take office in January. The city has been without an executive director of redevelopment since early August. Wendy Vachet, who formerly held the role, said she fired was during an Aug.
Lockett told the Post-Tribune that her firing was proceeded by a disagreement between herself and Prince. She offered scant details on the conflict, citing a desire to avoid a potential breach of attorney-client privilege. In the weeks leading up to her firing, she said, Prince asked her to take an action to which she had personal and professional objections. “He was pressing upon me to act unethically and contrary to Indiana law,” she told the Post-Tribune.
